My Transition Book {Supporting Students with Autism}

“My
Transition Book” is a book created to support students with ASD
(Austism Spectrum Disorder). This book allows students to provide information
about themselves (filled out at home with a guardian or adult or at school), in
order to give educators a better understanding of each student.

*This book can also be used for any student(s), as you get to know them better*

Visual Arts is definitely not my forte, but I do however enjoy it. I know some teachers hate glue and supplies and anything that can make a little mess, but we all know, that's what the kids love! LOL. So there are two lessons-- One for the neat and clean teacher and one for the teacher that doesn't mind getting a little messy. For the past few weeks we have been working on various elements of design. We started off with an easy lesson handed down from a colleague, which I tweaked a bit. It's easy, but turns out lovely. This is "Fall Inspired", but you could definitely adapt this for any season (using various colours). Our focus was the effect of warm and cool colours on a piece of art. We also reviewed various lines and shadowing, in order to create a specific effect. Lesson #1

Below is Step 1 and Step 2. * Using a white sheet of paper (this paper is a little thicker than regular printer paper), trace a circle in the center of the page. * From there, the students are…

Remembrance Day November 11th, 2015 Have We Forgotten? We are supposed to remember all those that are gone, Those that fought for their lives, and ours, was that wrong? The young men that left, some had never even been kissed, Some of them came from good homes, others, not even missed. In the darkness of night, they marched together, side by side, With only the moon and stars above them, as their guide, All around them, the sounds of guns and many tanks, Slowly moving along rocky shores, and slippery muddy banks. Against the morning light hundreds of silhouettes can be seen, They don’t have faces, only darkness, a sea of black and olive green, Miles and miles of emptiness, loneliness, that lay deep in their soul, Not knowing what is on the other side of each and every knoll. Where are they going, do they even know, and what will they find? What happened to looking out for our fellow man? All of mankind, Side by side in the trenches, some strangers, some family, just trying to survive, Cold and wet, fr…

Last week Christine and I posted some Remembrance Day painting pics. It was an idea that we brainstormed over a cup of coffee a few weeks back. We often try to create ideas that can reach across many grades, with increased expectations as the grade level changes.

Here is the visual arts activity in Christine's grade 3 classroom----The students also brainstormed words for Remembrance Day and chose a sentence that explained how they felt.

Here is my group of grade 7's art. The students used various elements of design such as line, shape, colour and texture.
The students then created many questions and comments from varying perspectives-- The wrote from the point of view of a grade 7 student, a soldier returning from war, and a poppy in Flanders Fields.
Here's a peak at their final product:

Last week we also dove into various text forms such as graphic texts and narratives.
Below are a few pics of my students creating their own comic strip focusing on …
